I am quite fed up with the constant self-doubt that plagues me in the workplace. Despite being constantly reassured by my colleagues and superiors that I am doing an exceptional job, I cannot erase this sensation of inadequacy. My recent performance evaluation was as positive as ever, but all it did was amplify my…
I recently moved to a new city for work and, despite my best efforts, I'm struggling to feel accepted by my colleagues. It's a small team and I often find myself on the outside looking in when it comes to inside jokes or lunch plans. Not once have I been included, even though I've gone out of my way to be friendly and…
have you ever made a decision thinking it's the right one, and then felt like maybe it wasn't the best after all? i'm in this spot now. i scored this high-paying job and thought it was gonna be my dream career! flashy title, sweet benefits, everything i always imagined. or so i thought... lately, i've been feeling…
I want to cry because I'm drowning under an avalanche of tasks at work, not to mention my family's endless demands. It's utterly impossible to juggle everything now, and the stress? Well, let's just say it's taken up permanent residence in my brain. Week after week, the load keeps piling on until I find myself…
hey there. so i've been really struggling with something lately. you know when a small thing happens and it just sticks in your head like peanut butter on the roof of your mouth? well, that's where i'm at right now. had this minor spat with a coworker a couple weeks back, nothing major but it's like my brain hit a…
I am writing this because I feel awful... A few months ago, I relocated to a new city for a job opportunity. It seemed like an exciting adventure and a step forward in my career development. However, reality has slapped me in the face harder than I anticipated. The workload is unbearable, colleagues are distant, and I…
Experiencing anxiety chills can be quite disruptive, especially in professional settings. During critical work meetings where I am tasked with presenting in front of the team, I often find myself overtaken by intense chills whenever my anxiety reaches its peak. This physiological response not only causes embarrassment…
I don't feel like writing much, because it will be problematic later, very unstable. When I leave, I don't know if I'll be able to carry this sense of coherence there, wherever I am, to manage myself as if I were here, calm, relaxed, at the mercy of all the available services, as I should have outside. Outside…
Personally, at this point, I'm not interested in my boss, his ideals, his principles, or anything like that. I don't care, I shouldn't care, and I never should have. I should never have trusted him in the first place, or taken a chance on him; that was a huge mistake. Encountering such a reckless, rule-breaker…
Dealing with passive aggressive people in the workplace is like dancing on eggshells. You never really know when you're going to step wrong and crack one open, revealing underlying tensions and frustrations. My new manager, let's call him 'Tim,' is the epitome of passive aggression. Every interaction is a carefully…
why do i feel like everyone is against me? 🤔 that's the burning question that keeps haunting my thoughts these days. it's been two months since i joined this new job, and honestly, i thought things were going pretty well (at least that's what i assumed). i'm as fast-paced and efficient as they come (not to toot my…
i don't know why but it's always been like this. working as a financial consultant, i get sent all over the place for different missions every month or so. you'd think i'd be used to it by now. but nope, each new place i go, i find myself getting super attached to the people i meet there.
it's hard because just when…
It's very difficult for me to let go of that blockade, because it was a bitter experience, very hard for me. Living with that feeling of being blocked for so long was awful, terrible, something I never want to relive. It's horrible to be blocked at your own workplace; it's dreadful. You feel completely excluded…
I couldn't let my friend be harmed. I couldn't let a legal trick by the bosses take her away from me, especially since they encouraged this behavior. Their malicious actions, exploiting loopholes and turning a blind eye, allowed her to do whatever she wanted, without any limitations whatsoever. No one said a word to…
